Spring is coming, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your makeup to go with the vibrant and floral hues of the season. With perfect timing, Aveda recently released a new lip line—Feed My Lips—and here at Arz Salon we couldn’t be happier, because with 23 new shades, there’s a color for every occasion.

Now, we understand the power of your lip color—it can take your outfit from low-key to o-m-g with a quick swipe. Here, we’ve outlined everything you should know when choosing your new favorite color—from the perfect hair color pairing to our favorite shades by occasion.

TREAT YOUR LIPS RIGHT

First things first—proper lip care. Every masterpiece starts with a blank canvas—and for soft, kissable lips, use Aveda Feed My Lips Pure Nourish-Mint Lip Treatment. It’ll act as a base layer for whatever color suits your fancy, and keep your lips from dryness or cracking. (Tip: apply Nourish-Mint Lip Treatment before bed for even more conditioned lips.)

For a longer-lasting and easy, blendable color application, apply Feed My Lips Pure Nourish-Mint Lip Primer next. It helps enable a matte base for that coveted, smooth look.

WHERE TO WEAR

Now that you’ve got properly-primed lips, take a peek into your calendar. Got a date coming up this weekend? Beach getaway? We’ve put together our favorite lip colors for a few different occasions to pack that perfect punch.

DISCOVER YOUR NATURAL MATCH

For the ultimate perfect pairing, we’re daring you to go a step further in finding the perfect lip color—matching a shade to your hair and skin tone. (Don’t worry, we’ve done the searching for you.)

BLONDES

For a cooler skin tone and an icy blonde, we recommend a blue-violet, pink- toned color to bring out the natural coolness:

If you’ve got a golden tan, darker skin and a warmer blonde hue to match, we love a peachy-pink tone to keep things light and bright.

REDHEADS

If you’re a cooler redhead, have a bold color (like Pantone’s Ultra-Violet) and lighter skin, an even more vibrant shade packs a wow-factor:

A warmer redhead would be perfectly complemented by a warm, red-based hue to keep things soft and balanced (but also incredibly stylish):

A purple shade pairs perfectly to a cool-toned brunette—it’ll bring out the icy tones of the skin and will always be a winner:
